Join us for the North Carolina Azalea Festival Seahawk Sun Run on Saturday, February 14th, on the beautiful campus of UNCW and make your miles matter—with your dog.
When you register to participate with your dog, 50% of the proceeds benefit paws4people.
Participants registered to run or walk with your dog will receive a custom bandanna (while supplies last)—register early to be sure your pup doesn’t miss out!
New this year: A virtual option lets you run or walk with your dog from anywhere while still supporting paws4people.
No matter where you are in the US, this option allows you to participate from your own neighborhood or local park, with a paws4people dog or pet dog.
We strongly encourage you to get involved and support us, near or far.
Sign up today by clicking the link below, and make sure to choose the option to participate with your dog!
